Taj Tandoori

Better than the usual Indian restaurant. Food far more adventurous than most with lovely flavours. Waiter helpful in choosing. Calm but prompt attentive service. Worth the little extra cost for a much better experience. Don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own for minimal or occasionally zero corkage charge. I love this place.

Possibly the best indian I have had in Cambridge. Great selection of dishes which were perfectly presented. Great place to share dishes, portion sizes are just right. The atmosphere is lovely really clean with great decor in the seating in the back. Can easily (and was) hold large groups. Food was prepared quickly. Prices were very reasonable and all the staff members were exceptional, very knowledgeable and make good recommendations. It's a BYO but Cambridge wine merchants is a short walk away. This maybe my new favorite place for Indian food.

Lovely food, both classic Indian and street food. Waiting staff are helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable of the food. One of the best things about this place is the fact that it's BYOB - will definitely be going back.

Love this place. The people who work there are really friendly and the food is incredible. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had - the chicken biryani way particularly good but I really don't think you could go wrong with anything on their menu.

The Staff: They were amazing to us from the moment we called to ask if we needed reservations (which aren't required but highly suggested...they were packed on a Thursday!). Upon arriving, they were enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and all around fantastic. The Atmosphere: The decor is beautiful, the music was great and not too loud or too quiet, and the seating was comfortable. The smell of the food welcomed us as we parked the car, and it did not misrepresent the food...it was fantastic! The Food: My husband had the Staff Curry (pictured), my daughter had a vegetarian dish (I can't remember the name, I apologize), and I had Chicken Korma. My youngest daughter is the pickiest eater in the world, but she chowed down on battered chicken strips and fries with rice. She ate it all, which is a huge deal, and should be indicative of how delish they were. Also, the fries?? Oh my! I tried them, for quality assurance purposes of course, and they were some of the best I've had in a long time. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy internally, not overly greasy... delightful. We all argued that our meal was the best, though of course, mine was. Korma is always the best. We cleaned our curries off the plates with leftover fries, we were so happy! The Price: We ordered a lot of food, and our meal was only about 50. That's four meals, four drinks, three extra sides of rice...we were very happy with the price. Extras: The restrooms were super clean, which is a plus for me. Also, if I could have put the chandeliers in my bag to take home, I totally would have. The Conclusion: Highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal at a great price!
